From what I've seen posted the 12v vr6 is ~350lbs w/o the transmission. K20a with trans is ~390lbs. The guys on the locost forums would know for sure.

They build the BADDEST V8's in the world by far. But they are not cheap.

I've seen a K20 or a 24 in a caddy but never another MK1. Wonder if any of those exist or if you've seen one??

SO awesome! I sent that to my friend who is helping me with my swap. His friend in Finland (he's a Fin himself) is building an Impreza rally car, so they are exchanging stories and he asked me if I wouldn't mind tearing the car down a little further to do some stitching and seam welding. Hells yeah!!!
